Zadok (Zaddok, Zaddock, Z.H., Zacharie) Henri Moock came from the Alsace Lorraine
region of France and Germany. His actual birthplace has still not been determined,
despite searching through numerous community records. He was named for his
Grandfather Zadok and his father was Isac.

Zadok ran a grocery store in Memphis for several years before marrying Babette.
Here is Zadok's and Babette Block's marriage license dated 14 November 1849. After
their marriage, they moved to Arkansas from Memphis.

One family oral history says that Zadok left to fight in the Civil War, but no service
records have been found for him in either the Confederacy or Union. The other
history says that he ran away from his wife and five children. Whichever is true, no
trace of him has been found after the war.

Babette had his estate put through probate in Poinsett County, Arkansas in January
1874. Despite the probate, no record of his will has been found. By 1880 the
family was in Memphis for good.

European research has turned up many more Mook, Moock, Mock, or Moch relatives.
Below is the death certificate for Zacharie Moock, Zadok's grandfather.

From this record, many more generations of the Moocks have been found.
Isac, also known as Meyer Feisel Moch was born about 1706. His father was
Feisel Moch, who lived from 1675 to 1753. Feisel also had a brother, Abraham born
about 1680. The family lived in Haguenau, Bas-Rhin, France for over 100 years.
These names and dates were found through a history of Jewish families of the
Haguenau, compiled in 1885.
